| '''Narchost''' was one of the towers known as the [[Teeth of Mordor]], that stood on two hills either side of the [[Black Gate]] of the [[Morannon]], guarding the northwestern entrance into [[Mordor]]. Narchost and its companion [[Carchost]] were originally built by the [[Gondorians]], as a guard on Mordor after [[Sauron]]'s first defeat. As Gondor's strength waned, Narchost was abandoned and left to decay, until Sauron returned to his ancient land. His forces took over both the old guard-towers and repaired them, so that at the time of the [[War of the Ring]], they formed part of Sauron's own defences.

| ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' never states whether Narchost was the western or eastern of the Towers, but a variety of circumstantial evidence points to it being the tower that stood to the west of the Morannon.
